V. Klitshcko vs Gomez on ESPN on March 21, 2009

[The_Bull]

There will be American television coverage of Vitali Klitschko's heavyweight title defense against mandatory challenger Juan Carlos Gomez on March 21 in Stuttgart, Germany. The bout will air live on ESPN at 5 p.m. ET, ESPN boxing programming director Doug Loughrey said. Klitschko's team had been approached about putting the bout on pay-per-view in the United States, but elected to take less money for far wider exposure on ESPN.

Good looking out by ESPN.

I am sure this fight will be better than Wald fights that have recently been on HBO and at I guess 1/20th the price that HBO paid for broadcasting it.

Hell yeah sounds good. I just wished it was wlad vs haye they were showing. If the fight is boring it can hurt boxing

[Easy-E]

Great promotional move by Vitali and his team!

Wow this is weird. That is NOT a good sign though. A HW title fight that isnt on HBO or Showtime. Well, at least its being aired the US.
